Had the lamb and beef Gyro and it was delicious. Thick slices of meat and seasoned well. Quaint little spot with a chill vibe. Plain and simple. Will return.

Last night, I went with my friend because she is Greek and really loves this place. We decided to go before summer ended so we could enjoy the back patio. The food was really delicious, and the service was excellent; our waiter was very kind and attentive, meeting all our needs. The only thing that wasn’t great was the sangria, it had too much ice, which made the wine flavor almost disappear, and it didn’t have any fruit, so, I’m not sure it could really be called a sangria. Everything else was good, the place was clean and I loved the back patio. Only because of the sangria, I’m giving it 4 stars, but I will definitely be coming back.

Went to a book launch down the block and ferried to Bay Ridge for it. Heard this spot js the best in the neighborhood and everyone’s right. Loved their octopus green salad so much, as did the gyro platter with the garlic dip. Huge portions and got about five meals out of it. Shoutout to Billy Joe who was so kind and helpful and funny too, helped suggestthe best dishes to order. Would totally come back when I’m in the neighborhood and recommend to everyone.
5 stars!!!!

Had a farewell get together at Olives & Pita, which was recommended by a friend. The indoor dining area is not very large, but there is an outdoor patio for warmer days. Our party had the loukaniko Greek sausage, grilled octopus, and chicken soup for appetizers. For the main, we ordered the Meat Combo, Shrimp Souvlaki with lemon potatoes (up charge), and the gyro side platter with fries. I must admit that the gyro and octopus were stupendous, rivaling the flavors of Santorini. First time we’ tried the Loukaniko and it was seasoned just perfectly. The lemon potatoes were delightful. The shrimp was over grilled and burnt after we had a few pieces. When we complained about this, the server brought out two new skewers for us. This was very much appreciated. The server was very helpful and checked on us occasionally to see if we needed anything. We also noted that the prices, at the time of this post, were quite reasonable compared to many other restaurants. Will surely be back in the future.

I went to a surprise birthday party for one of my best friends Anthony Esposito. For anyone that don’t know him he’s the owner and operator of Bad Ass Academy in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. His wife Joanne put together the event. The place offers indoor and outdoor seating. They also host private events. If you have a big enough party,
The restaurant will be yours for the hours you need.
Joanne invited a lot of people and the food came out in a timely matter.

We randomly found this restaurant and were so glad we did. The food was excellent, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the chef even came out to check on us. They treated us to an espresso on the house, which was such a nice touch. We had a great time and really enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend!

I live in Staten Island and gladly travel all the way to Brooklyn just to eat here. That alone should tell you how good Olives & Pita is.
The food is consistently amazing: fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell quality actually matters here. The spicy feta dip is ELITE!!
Louie is the heart of this place. He’s incredibly kind, welcoming, and makes you feel like more than just a customer. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it’s a big reason I keep coming back.
If you’re anywhere in NYC and debating whether this spot is “worth the trip” ~ it absolutely is.

Really nice mom & pop type of a shop. Chicken gyro and fries were delicious, and the 3 dips were super fresh. Prices are quite fair and staff is really nice. Highly recommend.
